poor woman has no clue how bad it can get. Wait till you take over an entire room for your workspace. She'll have kittens....

I may be slow... But I sure am gimpy.

ok thanks all, i will pick up some biners and now i get the concept, i didnt notice the loop at the end of the webbing. just to let you know my wife just yelled at me for trying to do hitches to the back of the l/r chairs.

you got the adjustable webbing suspension i think. you'll have to take the webbing out of the buckles, wrap around the tree and thread one end through the looped end. now webbing is attached to the tree. thread back through the buckles, adjust, and tie a slipped half hitch tightly behind them.

if you get 2 biners, you can put them in those webbing loops, and you just clip the webbing around the tree, rather than taking the webbing out of the buckles, and then threading them back on. this is what most folks do.

I hadn't even thought of using the non-biner technique, probably since I am used to having biners. But I'm thinking when I first set up, I didn't have my biners handy ( on another hammock in a sack) so I just did a Speer type wrap, or a round turn with half hitch, can't remember. But disconnecting from the triangle buckles might come in handy when packing up, if the webbing was soaked.

Anyway, question: with that first non-biner technique you list: no wear worries from webbing on webbing contact and friction through the loop? It might save a few oz to go without biners, and that actually doessn't sound all that inconvenient.
